9 Best OLED TVs of 2026

LG OLED evo C6 gives home theater buyers most of what LG's flagship offers for a lot less money. Each of its more than 8.3 million pixels lights itself, and LG backs its Perfect Black claim with a UL Solutions check of black levels at or below 0.24 nit in rooms up to 500 lux. The C6 runs the same Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen3 as the G6 and lists Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and FILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Technology, which adjusts the creator's intended picture to room light. Gamers get a 165Hz refresh rate with a PC, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium. LG.com listed the 65-inch at $1,399.99, the 55-inch at $999.99 and the 77-inch at $1,999.99 when we checked. What you give up against the G6 is peak brightness and the anti-reflection filter, and the C6 is not on LG's 5-year panel warranty list. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

LG OLED evo G6 is the pick when a room has windows you cannot cover. LG pairs Hyper Radiant Color Tech with Brightness Booster Ultra, which it rates up to 3.9x brighter in internal testing against the Alpha 8 Gen3 processor used in the B6, and adds Reflection Free Premium to cut glare from lamps and daylight. It keeps the C6's Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen3, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and FILMMAKER MODE, plus a 165Hz refresh rate with a PC. For home theater builds the Flush Fit Gallery Design hangs with virtually no gap from the wall, and LG lists a 5-year panel warranty with OLED Care+. LG.com listed the 65-inch at $1,999.99 and the 77-inch at $3,499.99 when we checked, with sizes up to 97 inches. The 55-inch at $1,899.99 is poor value against the 65-inch. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

LG OLED B6 is the cheapest way into a 65-inch OLED from a major maker on this list. LG.com listed the OLED65B6GUA at $1,199.99, the 77-inch at $1,999.99 and the 83-inch at $2,999.99 when we checked. You still get more than 8.3 million self-lit pixels with Perfect Black, plus Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and FILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Technology, so the core movie features match the C6. The savings come from the Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen3, which LG positions below the Alpha 11 in its pricier sets, and from a 120Hz ceiling instead of 165Hz. That limit matters only for PC gaming, since current consoles top out at 120Hz. LG also lists automatic software updates for up to 4 years on the B6, against 5 on the C6. For a secondary room or a first OLED, the trade-offs are easy to accept. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

Sony BRAVIA 8 II is the home theater pick for buyers who care most about color and already own Sony gear. Sony uses a QD-OLED panel with more than 8 million self-lit pixels and says it produces its highest OLED brightness, with XR Triluminos Max for billions of accurate colors and the XR Processor enhancing each scene. Sony supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced content through SONY PICTURES CORE, and the TV comes with 10 movie credits and 24 months of streaming. With a PS5 connected directly, Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode set the picture for you, and Acoustic Center Sync works with compatible Sony soundbars and AV receivers. Sony listed the 65-inch at $2,499.99, down from $3,299.99, when we checked. The catch is size: only 55 and 65 inches are offered. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

Sony BRAVIA 8 is the lower-cost route to Sony's picture processing. It is a 2024 model that Sony still sells, listed at $1,699.99 for 65 inches when we checked, down from $1,999.99. Sony describes more than 8 million self-lit pixels with XR Triluminos Pro color and the XR Processor, and lists HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision, including Dolby Vision for gaming, plus IMAX Enhanced certification. Two HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K at 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, and PS5 owners get Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. Sound comes from Acoustic Surface Audio+, which vibrates the panel so voices come from the screen, and the TV can serve as a center channel with compatible Sony soundbars. Against the LG C6 it costs $300 more at 65 inches and lacks 165Hz, so it suits buyers who prefer Sony's processing. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

Samsung OLED S90H suits rooms where glare would spoil an ordinary glossy OLED. Samsung's Glare Free screen carries a footnoted certification of 15 gloss units or lower, against 100 for a mirror, and Samsung certifies black levels of 0.005 nit or lower in a dark room on the S90H and S95H. The NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor uses 128 neural networks for upscaling and motion, and Motion Xcelerator 165Hz works with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync when a PC is connected. Samsung promises Tizen OS upgrades for up to 7 years for 2026 models, the longest promise on this list. The drawbacks for home theater buyers are Dolby Vision, which Samsung does not list, and price: Samsung.com showed the 65-inch at $2,699.99 when we checked, far above LG's C6. Samsung often runs sales, so check the live price. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

Samsung OLED S95H is Samsung's best OLED and is built for buyers who mount the TV on a wall and want it to look tidy. OLED HDR Pro joins Glare Free with Real Black and Real Color, and Samsung certifies black levels of 0.005 nit or lower in a dark room. The FloatLayer Design mounts flush to the wall, and Wireless One Connect Ready support lets up to 8 HDMI devices sit away from the screen, though the box is sold separately and needs its own power cord. When the TV is off, the Art Store shows work from 5,000+ pieces, with 30 free refreshed artworks a month and a paid tier for the rest. Gaming matches the S90H with 165Hz and G-Sync. Samsung.com listed the 65-inch at $3,399.99 when we checked, $1,399.99 more than the LG G6, and Samsung does not list Dolby Vision. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.

Panasonic Z95B targets home theater buyers who want a calibrated picture and capable sound without a soundbar on day one. Panasonic's US specification sheet for the TV-65Z95BP lists a Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel with ThermalFlow cooling and the HCX Pro AI Processor MKII. It is the only set on this list with both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive, and it adds Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode, Prime Video Calibrated Mode and isf Mode for calibrators. Sound is the standout: a 170 W system with a front line array, side and upward drivers and a woofer, plus Dolby Atmos. Gamers get VRR up to 144Hz on two HDMI 2.1 inputs, and there is an ATSC 3.0 tuner. The smart platform is Fire TV. Panasonic did not show a US price we could verify, so we scored value conservatively. We compared documented features and published specifications; we did not test the TV ourselves.

Samsung OLED S85H is Samsung's lowest-priced OLED for 2026, aimed at buyers who already use Samsung's Tizen platform or SmartThings. It uses self-illuminating OLED pixels with OLED HDR, the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor for 4K AI Upscaling and Pantone Validated color. Gaming runs through the Premium Gaming Pack with Motion Xcelerator 120Hz and NVIDIA G-SYNC or AMD FreeSync Premium, which is enough for current consoles. Samsung extends the same 7 years of Tizen OS upgrades to the S85H as to its flagship. The problem is price against rivals: Samsung.com listed the 65-inch at $1,999.99 when we checked, $800 more than the LG B6 and $600 more than the LG C6, both of which list Dolby Vision. The S85H also skips the Glare Free coating of the S90H. Watch for Samsung sales, which can change this math quickly.
